Another nice Rhodes for your collection :) Heritage called the figure Athena. Other listings are more specific, naming Athena Nikephoros, so I...
They appear to be modern replicas of two Greek coins. First is an imitation of a coin of Kaunos and second of Lucania. Here are examples of what...
Happy birthday, Alex! Thanks for leaving us so many fabulous coins :D [IMG] KINGS OF MACEDON, Alexander III AR tetradrachm, 17.14 gm late...
Wow, that is far more than I knew about Gryneion-- thanks! Great explanation for the shift in spelling of the city. I love the smaller...

Pretty good, since there were only four obverse dies that year :D
Great theme, @rrdenarius! Not surprising that you picked up that quadrans :D. Sorry you missed that semiuncia-- it's a doozie! [IMG] SYRIA,...
Welcome to CoinTalk, @Orielensis! Glad you delurked :)
